Armis vs Ordr (2026)
Both find connected devices on hospital networks and act on what they find. Armis Centrix covers IT, OT, IoT, cloud and code as well as medical devices. It matches devices to FDA recalls and MDS2 forms and can quarantine one automatically through the hospital's network controls. ServiceNow completed its acquisition of Armis in April 2026. Ordr builds its product around turning device intelligence into enforced segmentation. Passive sensors and in house machine learning classify each device, baseline its behavior and flag anomalies. AI Protect for Segmentation writes policies from observed behavior, shows their effect before any rule changes, and applies approved policies through the hospital's firewalls and NAC. Choose Armis for breadth and a hosting region you choose; choose Ordr for segmentation that is simulated and approved before it is enforced.
- You want one platform across IT, OT, cloud and clinical devices.
- Your data must stay in a region you choose, or on premises.
- A published starting price suits how you buy.
- Segmentation policy should be written from observed device behavior.
- You want to see the effect of enforcement before any rule changes.
- You want to try the ORDR IQ assistant in a free sandbox before a sales call.

Questions buyers ask
How do Armis and Ordr work with the EHR?
For Armis, the integrations page names Cisco ISE, Check Point, Splunk, ServiceNow, Jira, BMC, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender among "hundreds of pre-built API integrations". The medical device page says policies are enforced through the customer's firewalls, switches and network access control, and that "integrations with CMMS and ticketing systems automate the creation of work orders".
With Ordr, the company cites more than 130 integrations, including Cisco ISE, ServiceNow CMDB enrichment, Nuvolo, Qualys, firewalls and VMware NSX, pushing device context to enforcement points and filling gaps in the CMDB. Dayton Children's runs ORDR with Cisco ISE to place devices in segmented VLANs.

How do Armis and Ordr handle patient data?
With Armis, an AI assistant data privacy statement is listed in the trust center behind an access request.
In Ordr's case, the privacy policy says the device profiling models are built in house and run in ORDR's own data center without exposing customer data to third-party models or outside training; ORDR IQ runs with zero data retention always on, processes input in real time, deletes it after computation, and never uses it to train models. The SOC 2 page adds secure data destruction at contract end. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
What evidence is published for Armis and Ordr?
In a June 2024 Armis release, Main Line Health reported finding twice as many connected assets as previously estimated, with no count, baseline or period given. The medical device page quotes Main Line Health's system director of biomedical engineering and the CIO of Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, and a 2025 solution brief quotes University Health Network and Burke Rehab Hospital; none of these quotes carries a figure.
With Ordr, the company cites more than 100 million devices classified and 500-plus customers, and KLAS named it a market leader in 2022. None of it comes with a before and after figure or a stated method. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026.

Both records were reviewed on this site in September 2026. Armis says it identifies every device the moment it connects. It publishes no classification accuracy to test that against. Armis can quarantine a device automatically, and no approval step is published. Ordr publishes an approval step for segmentation. It does not publish what the ORDR IQ agents may do without approval. Ordr's healthcare page carries a "HIPAA Compliant" badge. It states no business associate position, and neither does Armis. Ordr gives full visibility in 24 to 48 hours on one page and 48 to 72 on another. Ordr runs on AWS in us-east-1, with a SOC 2 Type II report under NDA. Armis starts at $3,250 a month on AWS Marketplace, and Ordr publishes no price. Both publish rank claims about themselves, which this page does not rely on.
Ask Ordr which ORDR IQ actions run unattended, and ask Armis what approval an automatic quarantine needs.
